In this chapter we saw how we could use our Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer skills to create math notation using their respective, built-in math equation editors. Although using a word processor to generate the notation was fairly straightforward, the process of creating math notation in one application and uploading it into another can become involved. That's why we investigated Moodle's built-in Algebra Filter to generate math notation in-situ.
Specifically, we covered these topics:
Creating math notation using Microsoft Equation Editor
Using OpenOffice.org Math to create math notation
How to switch on and use Moodle's built-in algebra notation filter, including plenty of examples of how to configure and use that filter to get you started
This chapter concentrated mainly on administrative tasks: we don't want to forget that converting our math teaching over to Moodle means we can create math courses that are entertaining and engaging. In the next chapter, we'll look at how to...
